Montpellier v Leinster Rugby Round 1 Highlights

Leinster got their Champions Cup campaign off to the perfect start with a 35-14 away win over Montpellier in the opening round. Leinster got off to a dream start with a try just five minutes in and they added a penalty shortly after to lead 8-0 after only ten minutes. Montpellier got on the board with a penalty midway through the first half, but a second Leinster try followed to see the visitors up 13-3. A second Montpellier penalty made it a seven point ball game, but Leinster would run in their third try five minutes from halftime to take a comfortable 20-6 lead into the break. Montpellier slotted an early second half penalty, but that was cancelled out by a Leinster shot at goal after 64 minutes. Shortly after Leinster had the all important bonus point fourth try to lead 28-9 heading into the final ten minutes. A Montpellier try with a little over two minutes to play gave the hosts a chance at a losing bonus point, but Leinster would have the final say with a fifth try with the final play of the match sealing an impressive bonus point victory.
